Hi,
Recently I've seen a method "Action (x, xhr)" in the detail pane of a User Action PurePath.
This method his "Exec Total" time has the highest value of all methods of that particular user action purepath. There are a few sub-methods under this method, but the sum of the 'Exec total' time is less than the Exec Time of 'Action (x, xhr)".
A screenshot of the details of "Action( x, xhr)":
The method "Action (x, xhr)" and all his sub-methods in the details pane of a user action purepath:
Can somebody explain me what this method does?
Regards,
Jurgen

It means that the JavaScript method that executed your XHR Request took 7.4s. This is the total time as measured in the browser. The one server-side request that was captured for that XHR Request only took 6.51ms. Where is the rest of the time? Well - there is probably time spent in JavaScript execution which wont show up here as a separate node. There is probably also time spent by the browser to render that content, apply DOM chagnes, ... You may also have requests to other 3rd party content.
You could use the Browser Agent or the AJAX Edition and walk through the scenario of that user. Then you can find out more about what else is going on on that page as the Browser Agent will give you visibility into EVERY single JS Line executed. It also gives you details on every web request as well as insight into rendering activity of the browser
